At first Inigo has even less of an idea what's going on here. Seeing Roland walk a little closer is reassuring - surely he will solve this situation.
But rather than solving anything, Inigo just puts his hand down into the water. And while Inigo can't fully see what's going on there, it's easy to assume that Roland is actually just.. holding Tidus down underwater?! Is Roland actively trying to drown Tidus?!
Despite trusting Roland, Inigo instinctively takes a step forward, likle he's ready to step in and save his friend. Until he hears those words, that is. That it's near impossible for Tidus to drown.
... oh.
Inigo is still staring. Still listening. To the rest of what Roland says, and then once Tidus emerges from the water, to what he's ranting to the older man about too. Somewhere between realising he was throwing a fuss over nothing, his dumb confession of his opinion on Tidus's body from before Roland walked in, the words I wasn't making fun of him 'cause he's gay and the realisation his scars are still on full display, embarrassment washes over him like a wave.
So Inigo just takes a step back. Until he's at the other side of the hot spring again.
And while Roland and Tidus are busy with Tidus's tantrum, Inigo is just going to submerge himself in the water here. Not as far as Tidus just went a moment ago, obviously, since he can't breathe underwater, but he's definitely just letting himself sink in until he's only chin up above the surface.
Maybe he can just vanish over here while they're not paying attention to him. That'd be great right about now. Can the ground open up and swallow him yet?
